Is a shawl or kerchief (sudra/Shid) that is worn on the neck in Eretz Yisrael, or a buka worn over the shoulders in Spain, obligated in tzitzit?
Synopsis
A kerchief worn on the neck (Shid in Arabic) in Eretz Yisrael, and a buka worn over the shoulders in Spain, are both exempt from tzitzit because their primary function is not as a body garment for coverage but for a specific practical purpose.
